43. With the emergence of biotechnology companies, it was feared that they would impose silence about proprietary results on their in–house researchers and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow the development of biological science and engineering. Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy described above? A. Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientific importance. B. When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results. C. Since the research priorities of biotechnology companies are not the same as those of academic institutions, the financial support of research by such companies distorts the research agenda. D. To enhance the companies' standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology companies encourage employees to publish their results, especially results that are important. E. Biotechnology companies devote some of their research resources to problems that are of fundamental scientific importance and that are not expected to produce immediate practical applications. 正確答案是D，我已經看過OG的解釋，我比較疑惑的一點是，答案是與禁口令相反的推廣政策，可讓新興公司有能見度。但是這怎能算是weaken呢？因為禁口的確會造成R&D低落，weaken不就是應該要破壞這個關連嗎？答案是沒有就破壞這個關係去講。
而推廣政策是另一線路的發展不是嗎？就結果面是與題目相反沒錯。像這種否定因的討論，我很容易想成「離題」的選項。
請教各位應該怎樣正確思考，謝謝 |
